Saturday marked the end of Week 1 in the All You Grocery Challenge. Our allotment for the Grocery Challenge is $25 per person per week, a total of $50 maximum for our two-person household. I went shopping twice last week, and spent a total of $39.20 for the week.
Sunday marked the start of Week 2, and it was a busy day! First, we went to lunch with family, and spent a total of $17.75 on lunch + tip – I took a photo of the receipt with the tip as documentation, since obviously you don’t get a receipt for cash tips!
After lunch, I went to the store and picked up some groceries. Normally, I count the cost of coupons as part of my grocery budget, but apparently you do not factor the cost of coupons into your budget for this challenge. Household supplies and toiletries are also exempt. Bearing all that in mind, this makes Sunday’s total for groceries $8.23. That brings my running total for Week 2 to $25.98.
